Former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira stated that he is not planning to return to the octagon yet, as he has decided to take a short break in his career.
“We will definitely talk to the UFC about my next fight soon. I don’t have an exact date yet, but there is already an idea on that. I took time off because I worked hard in 2024. I think my body is tired, I have a few injuries. So, I decided to slow down a bit, recover, and then return,” Pereira stated in an interview with UFC Brasil.
Let us remind you that Pereira lost his title in March, losing by unanimous decision to Magomed Ankalaev.
